Fantasy artist and digital stamp designer Mitzi Sato-Wiuff started offering digital stamps in Aurora Wings shop on Etsy in May of 2013. It has experienced a phenomenal growth, thanks to your wonderful response to the unique style of art that ranges widely in terms of subject matter, style, and complexity from simple beginners' images to highly detailed, advanced colorists' images -- different from a lot of digital stamps that are available in the paper crafting industry.

Mitzi Sato-Wiuff

Mitzi (Her last name is pronounced sah-toe-view. It's Japanese and Danish.) is a Colorado based artist, who is originally from Japan. Her artwork shows a clear and distinct influence of vintage shojo manga (少女漫画), tattoo art, woodblock prints, and kimono textile art of her native country. Mitzi has been drawing since early childhood, playing with crayons, watercolor, colored pencil, pastel, acrylics, and more recently, digital.

In 2010, she became a part of an artists collective, "Enchanted Visions Project", originally founded by famous fantasy artists Amy Brown and Jessica Galbreth. EV provided a wonderful opportunity to produce artwork on a regular basis and helped her portfolio grow steadily. Mitzi served for 2 years as an assistant administrator of the project, all the while staying an active contributing member. In 2011, her long-time dream of publishing a coloring book became reality with the publication of "Gardens & Goddesses" from Ellen Million Graphics.

The Aurora Wings Etsy shop and the Challenge Blog are the newest art ventures as she continues to grow, experiment, learn, and play with an open mind and child-like curiosity.

Hi...I'm Leanne and I am extremely lucky to live in one of the most
beautiful places in Australia. I am married with two teenage children
and work in administration for a

vocational education and training
provider.

I discovered scrapbooking in 2007 and quickly became
addicted! I began card making soon after as a way to use some of the
papers and embellishments that were filling up my creative space! I have
served on design teams for my favourite online store ScrapBoutique, and
Girls Only challenge site Scrap the Girls. I am so fortunate to have
been published in Australian Scrapbooking Memories and Cardmaking,
Stamping and Papercrafts magazines.

I am super excited to be joining the Feeling Sketchy team and look forward to sharing my designs with you!

It is my turn to do the inspiration post. I have been trying to think what to do as others have been doing some great techniques but I don't know many.
I decided to share some scrapbook pages I made a while ago before I had my blog. I think they were for scrapbook shop competitions.

If you don't have scrapbook paper to go with your photos there are lots of things you can do. I am showing two.
